The "Whoo! I just got new gear!" thread

[Alandme]

After deliberating and pounding my head about tripods and the different styles of heads, I finally bought a Benro Carbon 297 tripod and the Benro B-2 ball head. Now to find out if I made the right choice and take some photos.

Just ordered my Black Rapid DR-1 Double Strap + 2 x Joey-2 storage packs. Sweet

Yesterday I ordered a new laptop and some accessories. Not photo gear, but will be used for photo editing.

Dell Studio XPS 16
i7-740QM, 6GB DDR3, 1GB ATI Radeon 5730 and the epic 16" RGBLED screen.

Also ordered a G.Skill 120GB Phoenix Pro SSD to go in it. The 500GB 7200RPM drive will go in a CoolerMaster case I grabbed at the same time, to add more storage.

While I was splurging I ordered a Crumpler Dreadful Embarrassment to cart it all round in.

...well not quite got it yet - I bought a SB-600 speedlight and Nikon 50mm f1.8 through DWI and I have missed the FedEx courier twice -- Not Happy !!! Now I have to wait ALL weekend.
But on the upside, something to look forward to next week

Just placed an order with B&H photo for a Canon 60mm lens

Should be here by the end of the week/early next week.

Yay for having awesome parents and being able to twist their arms to the fact that I simply needed that lens for Uni

[Psyentist]

Picked up a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ... have been using it close to a week now. Excellent lens!

Been a few days now but, on Monday, I got myself a sigma 10-20 mm f 3.5. With this recent crap weather, it's been hard to get out to use it

Ashahi Pentax Takumar-A 2X Tele-converter (the Ka version 6 contacts) off eBay for a song - Yay!

Picked up a little lowepro 100AW today off Tony (maccaroneski) for little walkabout trips.

Ive worked out how to fit my FF body with 85 1.4 attached, a 50 prime, a flash, a set of triggers, memory card wallet, batteries for camera and flash, and my BR strap .. plus my business cards, wallet, keys, and sunnies.

If youve seen the size of this bag, your be impressed with the above

Im gonna mod it so I can attach a lightstand w/umbrella adapter, a small brolly, and a twist fold reflector.

Perfect portable strobist kit

I purchased my first DSLR on Friday. Picked up the 50D with 18-200mm lens!
So far I'm loving it. Now I will just have to get out and shoot.
